Sales Journey

Active Sales Journey

Open the stage that matches the conversation. Use the message when helpful, then guide the customer toward the clearest next step.

First reply

Greet her, thank her for contacting MP Couture, then answer the question.

Active conversation

Answer directly. Do not repeat the greeting once the conversation is already moving.

Closing or reconnecting

Use a short warm thank you, follow up, or relationship message when the moment calls for it.

Multi question rule: If she asks several things at once, answer everything in one natural message first. Then guide her toward the most important next decision.
If this is the first reply: Start with a short, natural greeting. Thank her for contacting MP Couture, then answer what she asked. Once the conversation is active, answer directly without repeating the greeting.

Choosing the Right CoatOrder & Payment
Keep the choice small: Start with the strongest match. Add one useful alternative only when it helps.
Two coats
Customer says
I like these two. Which one do you think is better?
You reply
They are both nice, but they feel a little different. The ___ is easier for everyday. The ___ feels a little more dressed up. How do you see yourself wearing it most?
You can send
Side by side images using the same angle when possible.
Two colors
You reply
The black is easy and classic. The camel feels softer and gives you a different look. What do you wear more often?
Maya recommendation
Customer says
Which one would you choose for me?
You reply
Based on what you told me, I would go with the ___ for you. I think you will get more use out of that one.
Still unsure
You reply
Of course. What are you still unsure about? The fit, color, price, or whether it is the right coat for you?
Your role
Solve the concern first. Do not add more product until you understand the hesitation.
Decision rule: Do not defend or over explain. Understand the hesitation, answer it, then make the next step clear.
Price hesitation

It is a little more than I wanted to spend.

I understand. I have one or two other options at a different price that are close to this style. Let me send you those first.
